Plus the fishing industry that is the centre of the Brexit universe, is being crushed at an exponential rate as we speak.

Car prices are going up. Supermarkets are warning that food prices are about to go up. Small businesses around the world are issuing statements saying they won't be selling to the UK anymore because of the VAT rules. Small busines here are losing customers because of the duties their products are now facing. The City of London has been told that it's not going to get free access to it's most important market.
It is what it is, but I think most remain voters so far can at least take a little comfort in knowing that they were right.
